Designation:D 6135 97Standard Practice forApplication of Self-Adhering Modified BituminousWaterproofing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6135;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the minimum installation recom-mendations for self-adhering modified bitumen sheets used inwaterproofing.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.3 For the purpose of this application practice,the substrateis assumed to be structurally sound,sloped to drain,able toaccept the weight of the membrane and other system materials,and meets the local building code requirements.Similarly,allcomponents of the waterproofing system are assumed tocomply with any federal,state,and local environmental regu-lations,which may be in affect at the time of installation.Additional plies of membrane,expansion joints,insulation anddrainage layers are beyond the scope of this practice.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:B 29 Specifications for Pig Lead2D 1079 Terminology Relating to Roofing,Waterproofing,and Bituminous Materials3D 5295 Guide for the Preparation of Concrete Surfaces forAdhered(Bonded)Membrane Waterproofing Systems3D 5957 Guide for Flood Testing Horizontal WaterproofingInstallations32.2Other Standard:FMRC Approval Standard 447043.Terminology3.1 Definitions:The terms used in this practice are definedin accordance with Terminology D 1079.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 joint,nthe overlap of three intersecting sheets in themembrane.4.Significance and Use4.1 This practice outlines general procedures and precau-tions for the application of self-adhering modified bitumenwaterproofing systems used in new installations.4.2 This practice is not all-inclusive and is intended only tosupplement detailed instructions from designers.5.Delivery of Materials5.1 Deliver materials in system suppliers unopened con-tainers and packages.5.2 All materials or material packaging must be markedclearly in a weather-resistant manner with type,stock,lotnumber,and other pertinent information as required by pur-chaser.6.Storage and Handling6.1 Store sheet materials in a horizontal position,elevatedoff the ground and under protective waterproof coverings toprevent contamination of the sheet surfaces.6.2 Store primer,surface conditioner,and mastic in tightlyclosed original containers at temperatures within the rangerecommended by the system supplier.Protect primer,surfaceconditioner,and mastic from moisture and potential sources ofignition.6.3 Bring the sheets to the job site in good condition,andhandle materials so as not to damage them.7.Environmental Conditions7.1 Consult system supplier for any special applicationprocedures when ambient temperatures are expected to bebelow 40F(4.4C).8.Materials8.1 Modified Bitumen Prefabricated SheetSelf-adheringmodified bitumen sheet used in waterproofing.8.2 Primer and Surface ConditionerMaterial,to preparethe substrate to accept the membrane.8.3 Liquid MembraneMaterial for inside corner fillets,reinforcements,and terminations.8.4 MasticMaterial for sealing patches and terminations.8.5 Protection BoardMaterial to protect the membranefrom damage after installation.8.6 Mechanical AffxmentsThe mechanical fasteners andstress distribution bar or strips specified for use in the system1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D-08 on Roofing,Waterproofing,and Bituminous Materials and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D08.22 on Waterproofing and Damproofing Systems.Current edition approved June 10,1997.Published January 1998.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 02.04.3Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 04.04.4Available from Factory Mutual Research Corporation(FMRC),1151 BostonProvidence Turnpike,Norwood,MA 02062.1AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND MATERIALS100 Barr Harbor Dr.,West Conshohocken,PA 19428Reprinted from the Annual Book of ASTM Standards.Copyright ASTMmust meet the corrosion guidelines outlined in FMRC Standard4470.9.Substrate Preparation9.1 Contaminants,such as dirt,debris,loose materials,moisture,or surface irregularities,which would interfere withsatisfactory installation of the system,shall be removed.SeeGuide D 5295 for surface preparation.9.2 Apply primer or surface conditioner at the systemsuppliers recommended coverage rate.Allow primer or con-ditioner to dry.Minimum drying time is 1 h.9.3 Areas must be covered with membrane on the same dayas the primer or conditioner is applied,or they must bereprimed or reconditioned.9.4 Are
